Qobuz vs. Tidal


Greetings to all,

I'm sure this has been asked before. Which do you prefer and why? Qobuz customer service is worse than terrible. Is Tidal CS any better? 

What about selection? 

Thank you!

OP,

So the issue is with the Conductor app. Are you using version 3 or 4?

Aurender introduced the new Conductor 4 app a few months ago. There have been some problems for some folks, it was a major upgrade. I have introduced new software to large groups most of my life. There are always problems, some organizations are better at it than others. It seems to have created some problems. They are working on them. You can just go back to version 3 and stay there for six months or so as Aurender irons out the bugs.

I have been fortunate not to experience any significant issues.

I currently have both Tidal and Qobuz but I do prefer Tidal over Qobuz. For me, Tidal just seems to be more user friendly and also provides the user with more music selection options than Qobuz. There’s no noticeable difference in SQ between the two.  So, if I had to keep just one, it would definitely be Tidal.

@lalitk I went over to Agon and tried sending you a message w/ some more playlists but that was flittered!  Ugg...I sent off a query to Tammy. A while back ago I posted this (some gone like 12.5) and that worked. Hynm.

@soix  & @arnold_h Yes the native app or web browser search function in Qobuz is so-so w/ too many variables to be nuanced at times to find something that's not even esoteric.

... With the level of tech today you wouldn’t think it’d be too hard to have someone fairly easily implement a decent search function ...

That's a function of the software you're using to stream Qobuz, e.g. Conductor if you're using an Aurender, or perhaps Volumio if you're using a Raspberry Pi.

@cleeds I wasn’t using software, just direct on the Qobuz site.  It just sucks. Period.
